The problem with hiring kids in high school is eventually, they go back. After the summer they go back to school and leave you hanging at work. This puts the stress on us working slaves. Stuck at the job those kids just saw as a summer obligation. Be it because they needed money, they are supporting their own children (oh yes, we have some of those), or their parents make them. At any rate, they leave and we are stuck at work just hoping that someone else walks through the doors and applies for the job just vacated by the high schoolers.
But alas, it doesn't happen like that. We just get the royal screw job. I went from having a team of three (including myself) down to just me. I run around trying to play catch up from the previous night when the kid who was suppose to show up didn't and left me with a shit bomb when I walked into work today. Just one more thing that is horribly wrong with working in a retail store. It was days like today that make me wish I had a degree in something that was useful to me right now. AND something that could pay well and throughout the entire calendar year. But no, thats not how the chips fell.

regarding wedding receptions:
Like I stated before, Andrea and I had our wedding reception on the 28th of July. One week later, Marc and Kim got married and we had the reception that night. During the two receptions one thing was made abundantly clear: dancing is wrong.
Wedding receptions take away the ability to dance to the music. Granted you have your tangos and your salsas and your polkas (yeah polka!) which require a little bit of skill. But if you take a normal everyday song and play it you get practically everyone doing the proverbial 'white man dance'. Everyone knows what that means, there is no reason to go into it. However, if the same song were to be played at a dance club, it would be completely different. You would be able to dance the way you wanted to...mainly grabbing your favorite guy or gal and grinding and grinding and grinding and throw in a little jump here and there and some more grinding. Why is this...it is one little word.
FAMILY. Who wants to grind up on their wife or girlfriend while great aunt sally is looking on. No one. To solve the problem there should be two wedding receptions. Almost like having a party and then an after party. You have the regular reception with the food and cake and families and nice dancing and horrible white people dancing. Then after all the old people go to bed, bust out the club music and get your grind on. It works out. You know you feel like a dork dancing all by yourself shuffling your feet back and forth having no idea what to do with your hands because they aren't caressing your wife's ass. Problem solved. So the next wedding reception you plan, make it two seperate affairs. One family oriented and one bar/dance club oriented.
